TO KEEP LAMp-CHIMNEYS.-The
following recipe for keeping lamp
chimneys from cracking is taken from
the Diamond, a Leipzig journal devot-
ed to the glass interests: Place your
tumblers, chimneys or vessels which
you desire to keep from cracking, in a
pot filled with cold water and little
cooking-salt, allow the mixture to boil
well over a fire, and then cool slowly.
Glass treated i'm this way is said not to
crack, even if exposed TO very sudden
changes Of temperature. Chimneys
are said to become very durable by
this process, which may also be ex-
tended to crockery, stoneware, porce-
lain, etc. The process is simply one of
annealing, and the slower the process,
especially the cooling portion of it, the
the more effective will be the work.
POTATO QRoQUETTE.-For the pota-
to croquettes, put in a mixing bowl
one large cup of mashed potatoes, a
little nutmeg and cayenne pepper and
the beaten yolk Of one egg. Beat this
with q fork until very light and
smooth, roll into little pear-shaped
cones, dip in egg and then in bread
crumbs and fry in boiling fat. When
anything is to be fried by immersion,
always test the fat by throwing in
bit of bread; if it takes on boiling
brown color quickly, the fat is hot
enough, and your croquettes will be
crisp outside and light and dry inside.
To keep bright iron from rusting,
soft soap, with half its weight in pearl
ash, one ounce of mixture in about
one gallon of boiling water; is in ev-
cry day use in most engineers shops
i'm the drip pans used for turning arti-
cles bright i'm wrought iron and steel.
The work, though constantly moist,
does not rust, and bright nuts are i'm
mcrscd in it for days, till wanted, and
retain their polish.
ITALIAN CAKE.-Thrce eggs, one
pound sugar, two and half cups but
ter, one cup sweet milk, three cups
flour, one tablespoonful Horsford's
baking powder. Flavor with almond
or vanilla.
\ flannel bag stuffed with hops and
wrung from hot vinegar, laid on the
ear, i one of the quickest and surest
cures for car-achc.
1t is very unhealthy to keep a kero-
scnc lamp bnrning in the room at
night, especially if it be turned low.

Coffee has advanced in the las, four or

the advance is attributed to reports Of q

purposes and the cry Of short crop may

ever that may be, capitalis's are taking
advantage Of the market aud making large
purchases to hold and force an advance.
Chicago capitalists are doing the same
thing in wheat, thus forcing up The price

other nsceasaries Of life should be severely
punished by law. 1t is crime to force
the poor lsboring people Of the country
to pay extravagant prices for the necessa-
ries of life when they are plentiful and
fair dealing would give it to them at hal
the price they now pay. 1t is crueles'

Another candidate for gubernstorisl
honors has loomed mp on the political
horizon in the person of Col. Robert Ober,
Of Baltimore city. Col. Ober is president
Of the Fertilizer Exchange of that city
and is held in high estimation by the com
mercial world and has also the respect and
esteem of the whole community. He is
spoken of a. possessing 6ne executive
ability, and with those who know him
best the opinion is that he would make an
able and dignifsd Governor. He stands
high in the councils Of the party in the
city, and the suggestion Of his name is
but another evidence of the character OF
man the people OF the State want for their
candidate in the coming campaign. With
out detriment to Col. Ober and the other
estimahls gentlemen whose names have
been mentioned in this connection, our
belief 10 still strong and hopeful that our
own candidate, Hon. Richard d. Edelen,
will be the choice of the convention, and
we will not relax one iota from our sup
port of him until the convention has as
sem bled and decided for some other good
Democrat. Then our earnest and active
support will be given to the nominee, but
until then our choice is Edelen unequivo-
Ically.

Henry George was recently introduced
to the students of Psckard's Business Col.
lege in New York, who have been reading
his books aud had arranged lot of ques-
tions relative to his land theories. Mr..
George was ready with answers to all Of
them. though some of the questions were
tough ones, but his replies may be con-
sidered by many as far from convincing.
When asked whether land had any in
trinsic value, be answered that nothing
has intrinsic value. In answer to another
question, he said that private ownership
in land is not conducive t, making res
pectable and valuable citizens. Owner
ship is one thing, he said, and possession
another. Certainly possession for long
term of years would make al! men good
citizens. Ownership makes them selfish
and grasping. He was asked: would
not the evil be greater if land were to be
leased by the government than by private
parties 2" To this he replied: "The prin
oiple underlying that question is the idea
OF fraudulent government. Our present
system of levying taxes by imposing duties
upon labor, with the necessary service it
involves, naturally fosters corruption On
the other hand, taxes levied upon land
could be collected at smaller cost and
greater certainty. Land cannot be hidden
away. 1t can be justly taxed according to
it's value and location"

Men Of the restless, uneasy sort, Who are

In denying pardon to a man named
Stanley, convicted of fraudulent registra-
tion and sentenced to ninety days impris-
onmeEt at st. Louis, President Cleveland
has struck blow in vindication of the
purity of the bal'ot box that will streng-
tben the hands of justice whenever such
cases come before the courts. II cannot
pardon" he says, "a crime against the
election laws, except it be in case pre-
senting unusually strong considerations
for clemsncy. I consider such offensei
the worst Of al crimes, and l know OF
none the punishment of which is more
important to the public" In this shor'
but vigorous paragraph the President in.
clud 8 and denounces. in language 30 cleal
snd bold that its purpott cannot be mis-
taken, all offenses that have tendency to
pervert the will of the people as expressed
at the polls, and thus justifies his right to
be at the head of AFFAIRS, while doing honor
70 the party thar put him there. 1t will
be admitted by all rejecting men that
what the President rightly and broad y
styles "crimes against the elections laws
have been charged and sometimes broush,
home TO both political parties, and tha,
they have been perpetrated not only by
individual members of them, but also
directly and indirectly aud on q larger
scale, by corporations having schemes ol
q questionable character to effect. The
most gigantic crime in the political his
tory OF the United States was the stealing
of the presidency in 1879 from Mr.. Tildeu
and transferring it to Mr.. Hayes. It wai
plot devised BY Republican leaders and
carried out by manipui alton Of the vots1
of two Southern States through collusiou
with their returning boards. The result
of it was to keep the Democrats from theiI
rightful possession OF the government fol
eight years longer. There are very few
homes, Republicans who can look bac
now on that shameful act with compla
ceucy, aud history has yet to deal With il
~ it deserves. But the condemnation by

against the election laws 10 a. iorciblc and

The st. Mary's Enterprise takes An un.
favorable view of q constitutional conven-
tion to remodel the organic law Of the
State. The Enterprise seems to be afraid
that the Democratic party of the State
will derive some advantage from . new
constitution, though it does not appear to
understand what such advantage will be.
1t says that the expense Of convention
would be considerable and does not see
why the present defects could not be cor
rected by amendments formulated by the
Legislature and submitted to the people.
1t concludes BY saying that even though
there are defects, it would be better to con-
tinue to endure the ills we have than fly
to othere that we know not Of
The objects of q new constitution are
several, all of weighty and important
character. The chief one is to 80 amend
the organic law as to make much cooperate
and other capital which now escapes tax
alton bear their Just share of the public
burden result known to be impractica.
BILE under the present constitution. An
essential amendment Of the judiciary sys-
tenn and an alteration of the provision for
registration of voters are also among the
important objects to be attained.
These important amendments are of too
complicated and difficult character to
leave them to be formulated by Legisls-
ture. 1t was recognition Of the infrmi-
ties of Legislatures in framing amend
ments that led the makers of the present
constitution to make the submission of the
question OF new convention to the pev-
pie in the present year obligatory upon
the Legislature. Al far as we are able to
gather the public opinion of the State,
there seems to be general concurrence OF
Republicans as we'll as Democrats in the
necessity of q constitutional convention.
Some of the republican judiciary in this
circuit and their immediate friends may
possibly prefer to "endure the ills they
have ETC., but it Is not likely that they
will be able to stop the wheels of progress.
There is little doubt that constitutional
convention will be held and that new
constitution will be adopted, to the great
benefit of the people--and especially the
agricultural people-of the State.

Eipuring to Fit Minds.

| ayes, said a down town tailor the other
day. fitting people with clothes is just about
| as often matter of temperament as it is any
thing else We can Git bodies well enough,
but ii takes a great deal of skill and hard
work and figuring to fit minds. And about
half the time it's the mind that we have to fit
rather than the body. Some minds are large
wasted and angular at the same time, and
there is no tailor alive that can get around
them unless he is tremendously agile Some
times the minds change after we've measured
them and before the clothes are tried on to
them Some minds that we have got the
knack of fitting change their shape gradually
as the years roll on, and, with increasing age,
increasing size and added curves and angles,
get so that there is no approaching fit for
them. There's nothing for them to do in such
a case but to go to another tailor, and it's one
of the strangest things in the world that when
they do so they often resume their normal
proportions in a manner that is almost
miraculous. But, bless youi they'll swell
again, and get SO that they can't be fitted.
"The influence Of money on the shape of a
mind is one of the things that we have to deal
with. You can trace every additional $50
that a man has put in the bank or invested in
stocks or bonds by some mental protuberance
or other that you have got to measure around

Fashions in Manners.

There are fashions i'll manners as there are
in clothes, and these the New York girl is
sharp as a needle at seeing. and clever as q
star actress ut adopting. Some years ago that
ugly fashion came in for eXcitable manners
when the girls talked so fast and gasped SC
you felt as though the whole female portion
of the town spent its life in running to catch
trains In one week they all broke out in it
Not a girl who was anybody retained her old
form of address. Since then the English man.
ner has come in. The use of the broad "a'
fell on them like pestilence Not an IA was
left to pursue the even tenor of its way I'M
molested. The word '1ady" was pronounced
bad form and "woman" substituted; gentle
men friends" was boycotted, land men that |
know" took its place In a prematurely short
time the change was effected, and one could
not but believe that it was the worl, of years.
Now the languid manner is chic The girls
who gasped and nearly fell into spasms four
years ago are half asleep to-day. You would
not believe they were the same creatures The
quick turns of the head, the rapid gestures Of
the hand, all, all are gone into the limbo Of
the past, and a drowsy magnificent langor
reigns in their stead.-The Argonaut
